- This package implements two system log daemons. The syslogd daemon is an
- enhanced version of the standard Berkeley utility program. This daemon is
- responsible for providing logging of messages received from programs and
- facilities on the local host as well as from remote hosts.
-
- The klogd daemon listens to kernel message sources and is responsible for
- prioritizing and processing operating system messages. The klogd daemon can
- run as a client of syslogd or optionally as a standalone program.
- Klogd can now be used to decode EIP addresses if it can determine a
- System.map file."
